My name is Emily.

I love people in love.

I cry at every wedding.

I own a striped umbrella. Everyone should.

I love my pug. His name is Edward.

I dream of having a house with enough closet hooks for my scarves and hats.

Laughing is great.

I believe there is nothing better than a day with the people you love.

And I absolutely love to take photos.


And this is my blog. Expect to see people in love, expect to laugh and read, and expect to see what I love and why I love it! Welcome to my blog. I am glad you are here.

I downright can say without any hesitance that Shauna and Joel are 4000% meant for each other. Not only was their wedding beautiful but the entire day I was constantly amazed at how cute they were together, how they would look into each other eyes and how anything (and nearly everything) made them laugh out loud in unison! It was perfect!

The day started out very rainy but the clouds broke and the sun started shining just as we arrived for their outdoor ceremony at the gorgeous Stonebrook Golf Club! The day couldn't have been more perfect for the two of them! :)

We scurried off for some fun portraits away from the hustle and bustle of the guests....some alone time was necessary! :)

Their live band was killer entertainment for the guests as they danced the night away and celebrated with the new couple! OH---and on the other side of the room Griffin, Joel's son, had collected every person's place card and was making a tower......people were "ooooo"ing and "awweeeee"ing at his skills all night. :)

The stars were bright and beaming so we HAD to get outside for one last shot of the night....

WOW, the pictures are so wonderful!! I have to agree, this last one NEEDS to be blown up to poster size, framed and hung proudly, its fantastic.
I also agree, I can't think of a couple who deserves to be together more than Joel and Shauna. The little story you wrote to go along with the pictures was perfect.
Thanks for being a great table crasher at the reception!
